COMBINEI) GOTTON RECLEAN'ER AND GIN.

Application filed November 25, 1927. Serial Ne. 235502.

The general object otthis invention is to provide an improved cotton gm which s, in

cl cct, a combined cotton gin and cotton clean-` ing and separating machine, and the invention is directed to the application ot cotton cleaning` and separating mechanism in the and into the breast of the gin. The picker.

roller is located in such proXimity to the revolving gin saws that cotton, with any trash and hnlls it may contain, is caught by the spikes ot the picker roller and forced against the teeth of the 'in saws. These letter carry the cotton np through the spaces between the huller ribs and into the roll box where the cotton is ginned. Any hulls, trash or sticks which may be stripped from the cotton by the huller ribs remain in the breast olthe gin and fall back onto the picker roller, the spikes of which :force it past the revolving gin saws.

This action of l orcing hulls, sticks and the lil ze past the rapidly moving teeth of the gin saws results in considerable shaling, chipping or cuttng ol' the trash, and to such an extent as to materially ail'ect the grade of the cotton being ginned. If, to lesson this chipping or cut'ting action, the pieker roller is backed away from the gin saws, so as to permt of a ''reer or more rapid discharge ot' the hulls,

trash and the like, then, a certain percentage oil' small-locl cotton inevitably escapes with the hnlls and trash. The amountof the loss or aste ot cotton thns escapng depends upon the width ot the space between the spilres of the piclcer roller and the sin-'face of the gin saws necessary to provide :for a su'lficiently rapid dischargc of the hulls and trash which may he contained in the cotton.

My improved. gin, disclosed in patent appli caton Fier. No. 211317, filed August Sth, 1927, was designed to overcome the objectons and diilicnlties referred to above involved in the use of the ordinary piclter roller. In that invention, l'. made use of a 'feed roll for throw ing the cotton, mixed with trash and hulls, against that portion of the gin saws projectin g through the hullerribs, the feed roll being positioned far enough away from the gin saws to avoid forcing orholding hulls or other hard snbstances against the saws, thus overcoming the tendency of the gin sawsto cut or chip the hnlls, sticks or other trash. The latter, after being separated from the cotton by the huller ribs, togetherwith any small locks of cotton not engaged by the gin saws, fall below the feed roll onto a reclaiming' saw, which carries the same under a brush or other yielding member, discharging the trash from the breast of the gin, While retnrnng any re claimed locks of cotton backto the gin saws, which act as'a dol'er 'for the reclaimng saws.

While the improved gin ormy application referrc d to overcomes the objections to the use of piclrer rollers, some d'flicultieshave been encountered in its use by reason ot the fact that there are times, especially during the early part of the season when green cotton is being handled,` when the huller ribs will clog or chok-e ator near the point where the gin saws carry the seed cotton through the spaces between the ribs. i When such clicking V or clogging occnrs in the ordinary huller-rih gin,

it is cnstomary for the ginner to reach down inside the breast and clear or remove the accmnulation with a-sticl It is not practicable to do this, however, withthe Construction of gin clisclosed in my application referred to, by reason of the fact that the 'feed roll is so located that the obstructed part of the huller ribs cannot be reached. i

The above objection is overcome by the constrnction and operation of the present invention, while the cotton is recleaned in a highly eflicient manner and any substantial loss thereof prevented. a

'The leading` characteristic of: iny invcntion resides in mounting a comparatively small recleaning saw cylindcr in the b'cast of the gin and in providing one or more passages :ter the discharge of hulls and trash past the moving` teeth of the rcclcaning san y (lo-Operating with the recleaning saw oylinder is a dofier roll which is located above the same and is rotated in the opposite direction to that of the rotaton of the gin saws instead of in the same direction, as in the case of the feed roll of themachineof my application referred to. This dofiier is preferably locatecl in su'flicently close proxnity to the stead of in the opposte direetion, as.-in the case of the reclaiming saw cylinder of the machine of my' applicationreferredto, and

is placed in such relation to the gin saws and the defter roll that the letterwill` doff' the cotton `and-"trash from' the ree-leaning saw i eylinder and throw it. across a space or 'workcliamher-direetly onto that portion of the revolving` gin' saws projecting through the huller ribs. i i

V Thisarrangementis made possible by the reltvely small' szeof" the recleanmg saw' cyh'nder' wh ch permits otr" its v being located directlyunder the defter rollwith its axis wellbelow' thetaxisof the ginsawgand with,

the provsion o'fa considerablespace or workng=chamber between thegin ysaw cyhnder and the reclaningsa w'cylin der.

fThis Construction or arrangement is Very i desirable, in that the spaceprovidedbetween the reeleamngsaw cylinder andgthegm saws 'perints ofthe discharge o'fsome hulls and trash through, a passageon the side of the downward movement oli-'the teeth of the re- .cle'aning saw' cylinder, in addition to that which is discharged through a passage on the sideot the upwardmovementof the teeth on the opposite, side of the reeleaning saw cylinder.

In the accompanying drawihg The figure is a longitudinal sectionaLview *partly broken' away through` a machine `c3.n.

structed 'according to mylinvention.

Referringnowto thefdrawing, the numeral' 1 indicatesthe casingof a "gin, in which casing is provideda ro1l'-boX 2 and a bre-ast 3 forned' by one Wa1l-4ofthe roll-box and the ront walil 5 of'the casing. Depending froni the rear side of the roll -bo'x isaseries of ginning ribs 6, and depending from the front wall of the roll boxisa series of'huller ribs 7.

Mbnntedin suitable bearings in the end walls of the casing 1 s a gm saw cylmder, the shirit of'which' isindicated'at 8 and one of the saws whereof is indicated at 9." The above parts are 'o ary. on ru ion end' :r p

tically standa To make the present inven- 'double-rib gin;

tion'leai', it may befurther stated, howerer, that'the hul'ler ribs '7 are spaced at' a sufticiently wide distance apart tojpermit the seeds to be drawn threughthe spaces'between theaby v the gin saws, while,.a t't he same time, such spaces are namtow enough, to prechde the passageyof'hnlls; trash and the lke, which latteiiare thereby separated from the cotton as the letter is 'emm through the spaces betweenthe huller hy the sawsand are renoved fromth'e gin in a-manner to be presin] the modern type of' ently described. The ginning ribs G extend through the spaces between the saws, and each pair of ribs lS positioned in close proximity to the sides of one of the gin saws so as to pre 'ent the seeds ironi being; drawn through the spaces between these ribs as the cotton is carried through by the saws. An they are separated from the cotton, the seeds slide down the outer or front :Faces of the ribs 6 and fall out of the machine.

To acconiplish the purposes ot my invention, I'mountin the breast of the gin a delle'.- roll 10, which is positioned to rotute in proximit-y to the gin saws at the point where the latter pass through the spaces ''etween the huller ribs 7. The purpose oi" this defter to remove cotton from the recleaniur saws and deliver it to the gin saws, and, in additien, the defter may be so positioned as to continuouslyremove any accuuulation oi hulh: and trash from the vicinity of the huller ribs 7, as above indicated.

The dofier roll 10 in its pretor-red :'orn Comprises a cylinder having` a seri es oi' aug ie bars or ribs ll seeured about its periphery at suitable distauces apart and extendiug longitudinally of the cylinder. Below the doit'er roll, 10, I rotatably nount in the end wall of the sasine' 1 a recleanin .saw eylinder,

the shaft of, which is indicated at 7.2 and one of' the saws whereoi' is indicated at 13. The recleanin saw cyiinder. as in the case of the gin saw cylinder, con'prises a series oi circnlar saws suitably spaced apart throughout the length of the cy'linder. The rceleauiuq saws, howcver, are of much less dian'eter thaii the gin saws. The driving mechanism for the rotatahle parts reierred to is not shown, hut it is of the conventional kind and so arranged as to drive the ginsaws, reclaiming saws and the doi'er roll in the respective dirmthius showniby the a 'rows That is to say, the gin and-reclbaning saws are rotated in the same direction and the dofi'er roll in an opposite direction, or (Winter-elockwise. The exact speeds of rotation of these paris are not important, but. it is important that the dei'er roll 10 should have a higher surface speed of. rotation than the recleaning saw `,"lll1(i("' 13, and that the gin saw cylinder 9 should hare a higher surface speed ot rotation than the (ioii'er roli 10. The usual R. i M. oi' the reieaniug saws is 156, of the doih r roli, too, and of the gin saws, 450. As the ;riu saws are Very much greute' in diaieter thui) the (loii'er roll, they, of. course, hare a uuch higher suri'aee speed of rotation fer the respective revoluticns per minute indicated.

The recleaning` saw cylindor has two *tum tie one to remove cotton from the mi xtu re otcotton andhulls fed into the breast 3 and Carry the same past the defter roll 10 which operates to dofi"' it theretrom and deliver the same to the gin. saws; and the other, to engage small wads and looks of cotton not carried np by the gin saws and Carry theni around to he again deied bythe 'feed roll and he delivered to the gin saws.

To taciiitate the performance ot these dual functions without the less of cotton l associate with the recieaning: saw oylinder at one side a lmllhoard l l: which 'is pivotally mounted at and which inay he adjusted toward or tro'n the gin saws 13 hy a set screw 16, Whereby to 'ary the size ot a space 17 for the escape ot hnils and trash past one side of the reclcaning s On the other side ol" the recleaning saws, I provide a casing meniher lt) co 'naing beyond the lower ends ot the hail 'r rihs i', which csing n'ieinher detines the size of a i iessage 19 past the saw cylinder on the opposite side to that at which the passage i? is pr zwideth which per-mite of the escape of hidis and trash which are separated .treni the cotton hy the action of the gin saws 9. The passages 17 and 19 lead tea common disch rge opening; 20 deined on the one side hy the lower end oi? the hnllhoard li and on the other by the lower end ot the casing meniher 18. The hnlls and trash which 'l -all into the passage 19 are :forced ont hy the 'teeth ot the recleaning saws 13 and disci'arp'ed through the opening 20, while the sinall iochs of cotton which fall with the trash into this passage are engaged hy the teeth ot the sans andcarri-ed across the discharge ap or opening 20 and baci: into the hreast 3 and around to the defter roil 10.

The nuneral 21 indicates a defter ot any preterred conetraction rotatahly nounted hy means ot a chatt 29 and which travels at a higher rate ot speed than the gin saws 9. This doll r serves in operation to continuously remove the ginn-ed cotton from the saws 9 in the usual inanner.

in opciation the cotton mixed with hulls and trash is delivered froni any suitable feeding.: device (not, shown) into the hreast 2-5 of the gin, where any loose trash and hnlis 'tall do wi, on to the hullhoard 'i i and slidcthrough 'the dischargc passage li' and are discharged through the opcnin 530. iny hulls and trash which remain entan &d with the cotton are cerriml with the cotton hy the recicaning'saws 13 up to the defter roll 10 which is rotatin@` in the direction shown at a greater po 'pherai speed than the saws 13 and which acts to doit' t iie cotton *froni the saws, throwing; it across a pace indicated at 533 into contact With the rcroiving; 'lfhis action and the siid .n. cngageinent of the cotton hy the gin sam-a releases addtionai hulls and trash and some small iocks of cottoin which `fail through the space into the passage 19, the holle being forced out through sncl'rpassage to the dischar 'e opening 520, while the lochs ot cotton are rorced into engagement with the teeth ot the saws 1?) and again carried around to the defter roli 10 where they are dot'fed and thrown across the space 23 into engagement with the teeth of the gin saws 9. The main body ot cotton thrown by the doter roll 10 onto the gin' saws prejecting` into the space 23 is carried hy the gin saws through the spaces between. the hnlier rihs 7, these spaces being wide enough to permit the seed cotton to he carried *treelythrongh into the within; 2 while narrow enough. to strip off the renairing sticlts and hulls, which are iinincdiately engaged hy the upper portion of the doiier roll 10, carried around and thrown hack intothe breast 8, whence they are readily 'lir-charg;ed through space 17 and opening 20. The &cod cotton, which has been eli'cctively cleaned by the three Operations descriimh is carried hy the gin saws into the roli-box 52 where it is ginned by the saws passing through the gin rihs 6, spaced close enough together to prevent seeds going through, the lint being' dottcd froni the hack ot' the ;gin saws by dotter 21 in the usnal inanner.

From the above description ot the (tonat-raw tion and. operation ot my invcntion, it wilt he seen, first, that the recieaning saws 13, in conbination with the hullhoawl M, deining the size oi' the passage 17 past the rechani i saws, produces an effective separation ot loose trash and hulls from the cotton delivered into the hreast 3; second, ti'at the space :23 s suthcient in extent to insure that the cotton with trash and hulls entangled with it, when dotl'ed froni the recleaning saws l and thrown across this space shall l e soddeniy by the rapidiy re xolviig e n aws as to shake loose a considerahie amount ot' trash and hulls which 'all through the space into the `mere restricted passage 19, whence they are 'forced by the recleaning saws through the opening 20, as ahoye described; and, thir-d, that the hulls, sticks and other trash stripped l'rorn the cotton hy the holi' rihs 7 are immediately and positivciy Clllitgh hy the rotating hladee ll ot the defter roli 10 and carried around and thi-own hacia: into the hreast 3. The position and action o'l' the dofl 'cr roll 10 may also he such as to .serve to prevent any aecninulation or clogging ot the rihs 7 at the point where the seed cotton is carried through the spaces between them and where the final separatioh of stiehs and tr. sh

made.

itwiil he ohyious that while the huller rihs 7 are important in this final sepacration, o ikinctioning to strip and sc pa rate h uils sti and other trash which remain entanglcd with the cotton, they are not essential so far as the reinoval of any loose hulis and trash is coricerned, which first takes place in the breast 3, and again by the separation suhseqeently made by shaking loose additionai hulis and trash when the cotton thrown hy the dotl'er roll 10 'froni the recleaning saws 123 through space 23 onto the rapidly revoiving gin sa It .is a charaeteristic of this inventon 'that the working parts are so positioned and roili) 'tatedas to net only brin about the desired i ie fli)

'any cotton of Value.

s'epa'ration of hnlls and trash from the cotton hetorethe seed cotton lS earried by the gin saws into the roll-box, but' at thesane time, all 'nachin ng er, ehlpping of hnlls, sticks and &other foreign matter is avoded since there sonly the force of gravity involved in the contactoi any hulls or trsh With the teeth of the recleaning saws 13; and the space the oppositeside of these saws is snficientl `Wide to revent sticks or Other hard suhstances t eni beingengaged at the seine time by .the downward movement` ot' the teeth ot the reeleaning saws 13 and the Upward n'o'x'ement of the teeth ofthe gin saws 9. In the nse of the ordinary pieler roller in the breest ot the pin, hnlls, st ehs and other hard suhstanees are-positii ely forced downward past the highspeed "in saws no'sfing in an upward direction, which resultsinehipping or machining the'hard suhstances to such an extent that a great deal of fine trash and shale is pro- 'duced and thrown hy the teeth of the gin saws hack intothe streanio cotton andis too fine i d V I c to ;be separated by theaction ot iorcng cotton through the spaces between the huller ribs. i V
